    Mr. Pugg and My Chai
    Star C.

    Yep. You gotta stop here! Mr. Pugg is the owner and an amazingly awesome guy. Makes a mean iced Chai latte! If you're there at the right time... there will be lemon squares. Try them, you won't regret it!

    Mr. Pugg's Mugg!

    OPEN LATE!!! On Martha's Vineyard!!!! Who knew such a thing existed?? Mr. Pugg's Mugg offers good coffee, great conversation with the owner, Ernest (Ernie) Medeiros, lots of island gossip, and a casual atmosphere with even more casual hours (12 pm-ish to 12 am-ish...he's just not a morning person, but he'll talk your ear off all night!). This hidden-in-plain-sight coffee shop is delightful gem right in the middle of "downtown" Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard. It's located towards the end of the street, near the Oyster Bar, across from Slice of Life. You could miss it, if not for the bright fluorescent "Espresso" sign in the front window! Somehow I have until now, even though it's apparently been here for 14 years!!! Ernie is friendly, interesting, and a personality that makes your coffee taste that much better! He is the heart and soul of this one-man operation: he's the only guy you'll ever see working here, from whenever he gets in around noon or so to midnight or so. He's not in as early on Saturdays, because he has another business venture he has to attend to that day. And he closes up shop "sometime in November", reopening ideally June 1st, but this year he says he didn't get back on the island until the beginning of July. Like I said, very casual. But then again, this is the island, not the mainland. Things run very differently here, much more slowly. The coffee is just coffee, and the stated prices on the chalkboard ain't cheap. But if he likes you (and he seems to like everyone!), the coffee might be 25 or 50 cents cheaper than posted. The best coffee offerings occur when you leave it up to Ernie to make it his way, which is delicious. It isn't calorie-free, but who cares, you're probably on vacation, right?! If he makes you an iced mocha, always delicious, if you don't watch out, he'll make it with some half-and-half. Don't argue, it's delish! And one of the best offerings on the menu is the "OB Blue", named after Oak Bluff's finest: hazelnut iced coffee, half-and-half, and topped off with whipped cream. Decadent. Dreamy. It's not a shtick. He created this beverage because this is what the local police liked when they came in. Mr. Pugg's Mugg also offers a plethora of other coffee beverages, smoothies, the "Puggacino" (which is really an icy cappuccino granita), and various baked goods to nosh on. There's free internet achievable if you sit in his shop, and 4 tables with accompanying chairs if you just want to sit with friends and talk. Ernie will chat you up if you let him...and by all means, let him! He's really fun to chat with. And, if you encourage him, he'll even sing for you...the one song he says he knows all the words to, a crooner's favorite: "I Left My Heart In San Francisco". And croon he does, in tune, with vibrato, the whole nine yards, beautiful! If you're up late and need a coffee fix with a conversation, Mr. Pugg's Mugg is THE place to go on Martha's Vineyard!!!! It's my new favorite haunt...!

    This a unique little spot with a real character behind the bar. This is the hole in the wall on "Circus" Ave. that all the locals duck into. Great coffee creations, frozen drinks and whatever yummy dessert he feels like offering. AC, tunes and local flavor! Bistro seating for 8! We never skip this place when we are on MV.

    Open late. I had a wonderful bowl of Kale Soup and some nice hospitality in this postage stamp of a place.

    This eatery is a hidden gem in Oak Bluffs! We usually spend…read moreat least one day on Martha's Vineyard during our stay in Chatham MA but this is the first time we tried Offshore Ale! So glad we found it ... on a very calm street... close to the park very little car traffic going by the outdoor patio! The staff greeted us warmly... welcomed our pup and seated us within minutes! A server greeted us instantly and took our drink order and even asked if we needed a nice fresh bowl of water for our puppy!! Extra Points just for acknowledging the fur-babies!! The lunch menu has an exceptional selection of seafood, fish, chicken and even a few beef dishes!! We ordered and the food was out hot and fresh within 10 minutes!! They even grilled a plain /no salt breast of chicken for our puppy too! Everything was delicious!! The fries that accompanied the sandwiches were out of this world! Usually never finish even half our fries but these were so good we finished one small bucket and nearly all of the second !! Definitely worth a try - casual, relaxing and delicious!!

    This is what it's all about!! Great good! Great service! An amazing vibe. The interior is very…read morewelcoming, and the team of workers are too! I got a chance to talk with Mrs. Sue and you can tell she loves what she does. She's truly curated an experience. The owners lead by example. They are truly hands on to make sure you have excellent, fresh, hot, flavorful food and quick and friendly service. The fresh cut fries were definitely not out of bag! You can tell by the freshness ! I'm so glad I stopped by here. You can truly tell this is a family restaurant. Operated by love and you can feel it when you walk in! It was so good I had to come back! The ribs were so tender! Fall off the bone! Great flavor! The potato au gratin was crispy and good! The hot honey wings were amazing!! The flavor was perfect, no notes! I love this place!
